Global Polytetrafluoroethylene Market Size Forecast 2024 - 2033
17 Dec, 2024
How Is The Global Polytetrafluoroethylene Market Defined?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene which is a strong, tough, waxy, nonflammable synthetic resin produced by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene. PTFE is known by various trademarks such as Teflon, Fluon, Hostaflon, and Polyflon. It is distinguished by its slippery surface, high melting point, and resistance to attack by almost all chemicals.
